Introducing Weblog's for SecureWebs Customers



We have a nice little open source ASP/.mdb driven weblog that is available to all virtual customers that have any account larger than a STOCK account.   If anyone thinks they want to give it a try, just email "support@securewebs.com" and request your weblog.  There is no special information that is required other than the domain name.  We will install the weblog in a folder under your domain name, setup the correct permissions on the database, and turn the keys over to you.   Trial and error should have you figuring out the basics in no time.  

And you thought learning to type and play with computers didn't pay.
Have you always wanted to make a good living doing what you love - and you love computers, just anything to do with them?  You don't want to give up those dreams yet.  Using United States as an example, the average annual wage for workers in the general IT industry was $67,440 last year, by contrast, the average annual salary for all private industry workers was $36,520.  When someone claims that the future is the "information age", they may have a point.  

Google - take advantage of PageRank to get your site noticed.
I am pleased to say we always believed Google would be a winner.  They focused on Internet search with a clean fast loading site and never have wavered.   And now they dominate the search market place with over 80% of all Internet search!   The art and science of getting your site pages displayed on Google is the focus of countless Internet marketing websites.  And it is well worth the effort, even to the exclusion of all other search engines to give some thought on how it works.

You can go a long way by just realizing that one of the most important factor that influence where your site is listed is PageRank.   Google uses over 100 factors but what sites you link to and how important they are is very critical to being listed favorably.

 You can find out how "linked" your site is with a visit to Google.  Type in the following:

 link:[your full URL]
 i.e. link:[http://www.securewebs.com]

There are several considerations how to increase your site popularity.  If you have some tricks and tips to share let us know and we will share them in the next newsletter should the topic prove a popular one.   

SecureWebs is Readying an Affiliate Program
As mentioned above, linking to other sites is important.  We intend to encourage our customers to do just that and we advise you to follow suit.  Linking is good.  Links to other sites from yours is a good idea.  And we are also looking at excuses and reasons to link back to our customers.  For example, a directory of web developers is under consideration. 

In short, anyone who displays a SecureWebs banner, button or link will be rewarded.  What makes a good affiliate program?   Do you want cash, credit, gifts or something else?  Please drop us a note with your thoughts to sales@securewebs.com.   Our affiliate program is expected to be ready by the first week of February.
